Jeez, another Burgess NZ Herald article today saying FIFA are set to scrap the two-legged intercontinental playoff, in favour of a one-off game, probably in Qatar. Doesn’t look like that Bahrain moment from 2009 will get a 2021 redux, not to mention losing the benefits of having a home crowd and conditions in a tight game.
I doubt the confederations involved would protest that idea CONCACAF and AFC would deff prefer the 2 leg play off. OFC would do whatever FIFA want and suck up to them.
